INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters Monday they had moved beyond what appeared to be a sideline spat.Apparently, they weren’t just speaking publicly about the incident.On Tuesday, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham revealed the team’s players and coaches also had a frank, “long” conversation intended to hash things out and get everyone back on the same page following back-to-back losses on the West Coast.“We had a team meeting (Monday) — a long meeting — and so hopefully we’ve kind of turned the page,” Cunningham said. “I think we were in there an hour and a half, almost two hours and we built back all the layers. I think everyone’s on a good page right now and ready to work. We’ll say it started (as a) coaches (meeting) and then ended up being players. It was much needed, though.”
Cunningham and All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell did not divulge specifics about what was discussed, and White said the meeting didn’t go quite as long as Cunningham thought.Clearly, though, everyone thought it was necessary and valuable after TV cameras caught the incident between Clark and White during Saturday night’s 100-84 loss to Portland — an expansion team Indiana beat by 17 points just 10 days earlier without Clark.
